34out of 100

Momentum score · price trend

34 out of 100 — Cooling

Over the past year its share price has done worse than most of the stocks we track.

PeriodShare price changeBetter than … of 1,910 stocks
Last 12 months+19.5%73%
Last 6 months+12.2%69%
Last 3 months−5.7%52%

The price is 20.3% below its all-time high of ₹806.55 (17 Aug 2026). Stocks more than 20% below their peak have their score halved, so 67 became 34.

How we calculate it

“Better than 30%” means that over that period the share price did better than 30 out of every 100 stocks we track (1,910 Indian companies worth ₹500 Cr or more, with at least a year of prices).

The score weighs the longer periods more: 40% × 12-month + 40% × 6-month + 20% × 3-month. For Pricol Ltd: 0.4 × 73 + 0.4 × 69 + 0.2 × 52 = 67, halved to 34 because the price is more than 20% below its all-time high.

Strengthening is 70 and above, Steady 40 to 70, Cooling below 40. Scores are recalculated every night after the market closes.

This describes only how the share price has moved up to 29 Oct 2026, compared with other stocks. It says nothing about the business, and it is not a prediction, a price target or a recommendation to buy or sell.
